[Krank]

Thought those of you looking at Asus's offering in the KT266A arena would like to see this: A7V266-E review at Lost Circuits

The latest I've heard on their shipping dates is anywhere from the 14th to the week after.

Very interesting, but why wouldn't they compare it to it's closest comp. the Soyo Dragon Plus? They Soyo came out a couple weeks ago, so they should have been able to examine it already...

WTF? Did you check out the Sandra Memory Benches? What version are they using, because 2000 MB/s seems a little high.

Seemed a little high when I looked at it in comparision to the Intel 850 scores as well. I'll just have to try it myself when I get mine together, which will be by Christmas at the rate things are going.

Horrible review. The benchmarks were done incorrectly, and the board is matched against a different set of boards in each test.

If you look at the screen carefully, you'll see that the test name has changed for the top set of bars -- i.e. they are comparing results for a different test, against the more traditional SiSoft "stream" test.

I've found SiSoft "stream" scores to be highly inconsistent, varying by 10% over a sequence of 10 runs (the "real" stream typically varies by more like 1%, if one uses a decent timer). It would be nice if they told us a little more about the construction of this version.
